Ya, we had an issue where huge development project dislocated a bunch of coyotes and they ended up roaming streets that they used to stay away from. I don't know where the city put them, but they rehomed them somewhere else.
Call me old fashioned, but I think if two species can have a viable offspring, then they are the same species. So dogs, wolves, and coyotes are all the same species. Just as you have water dogs, hounds, or shepherds, you also have other subspecies that are called wolves and coyotes. Granted, the dogs have had eons of selective breeding, so by now they have a genetic affinity towards humans that the wild species do not share. But I wonder how hard would it be make a coyote or wolf more like a dog. |
